I've literally just bought someone "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" by Haruki Murakami. It was the first Murakami book I read, and I've read plenty since. Wonderful.
I read Murakami books not because they are entirely entertaining WHILE I'm reading them, but because the dream-like memory of the experience sticks in your mind for years.
Wow, you aren't kidding. After reading your comment I tried to recall Wind-Up Bird, and got the same sensation.
This exactly. Even his non surrealist books are haunting and oppressive. Wonderful fiction.
